Listen to Her Voice
Fate Brings the Future
(3rd Person POV)
"Tell me did you fall from a shooting star, One without a permanent scar, And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?" Lou sang as she strolled through the arena on yet another muggy Monday afternoon. Raw was set to air in just a few hours and the young woman had been in an overall good mood despite the fact that she would have to face the music with her "Father" tonight.
But aside from that things were looking up. Lou had had a great flight and was pumped for the crowd to greet her tonight. She had Googled herself to see what people were even saying about her and by god, they wanted more Louisa Donaldson as soon as possible. Yep, nothing could destroy Lou's demeanor, now as she walked around looking for John Cena's or even DX's locker rooms.
Just as that happy go lucky demeanor had come, did it vanish because standing straight down the hallway from the young woman was The Legacy. They were in heavy conversation about something and Lou did not want to stick around to find out what it was. Lou whirled around and begun to back track.
Sadly, for her though Randy Orton just happened to be standing right behind her causing her to smack straight into a wall of solid muscle.
"Well, hello again, Louisa," he greeted while a sick smirk crossed his face, "You're a little off your course are you not?"
Lou's eyes narrowed as she shoved the Legend Killer aside or at least tried to but failed horribly as he pushed her back against the wall. Randy pinned her against the wall while holding her shoulders up making her squirm in his grasp.
"I do believe that were not properly introduced. I am Randy Orton and your Louisa Donaldson, or is it Carson Michaels, am I right?" Randy hissed into her ear. Lou continued to struggle as she flung her limbs as best as she could. "Not a talker now are we? Well you'll talk to me soon enough."
Lou glared at Randy as Ted and Cody quickly joined their boss's side.
"Now Ted, do you remember what I told our good friend Louisa here last week?" Randy questioned while throwing Ted a quick glance as Ted nodded a bit scarred. Lou noticed that both young men looked terrified of Randy. She could sense the fear in their eyes and their hesitation. Lou couldn't believe it but she actually felt sorry for the two goons since they were being bullied into everything.
"That Legacy will always have a place for her." Ted answered.
"Why would I want to be a part of the Baby Oil Boys Club?" Lou growled at them while their faces all turned bright red in anger. "I can do just fine, by myself, thank you very much."
"I don't think you can Louisa, pretty quick you'll be running to someone to help you, women don't make it in this business very long unless they have someone strong to stand on. And right now, you don't have anyone. So I suggest that you take my offer into serious consideration." Randy told her while eyeing her up like a piece of meat. Lou glared straight into those cold blue eyes of his. This was one of those times where if looks could kill Randy would be dead three times over.
"No." Lou said once again to the three men who were growing even more annoyed with this woman's stubbornness. Randy shook his head as he nodded at both Ted and Cody. Quickly, the two departed his side and returned, one holding a steel chair and the other holding a chain.
"I'll teach you to defy me, you little bitch." Randy yelled at her. Randy raised a hand high above his head getting ready to hit Lou with all his might, but before he could do that Lou bite him in the other hand. Yea, you read that right, Louisa had bit Randy Orton causing him to let go and yelp out in pain.
Lou crashed down onto the floor in a heap but quickly jumped to her feet. Ted and Cody were advancing towards her fast. She held up her hands doing the signature 'Let's go boys' hand taunt. Ted got to her first and quickly punches were exchanged. Lou hit him so hard that she managed to knock one of his teeth out. Her fist ached after that but she still had Rhodes to deal with.
Cody ground his teeth together as he looked at his defeated tag team partner and boss in anger.
"Leave the youngest to the oldest dirty work." Cody muttered to himself as Louisa just quickly kicked Cody in the manhood causing him to hobble over in pain.
The young woman let the sweat drip from her brow as she tried to catch her breath. She should probably run now before they wake up or try to start something else with her. But just as that thought crossed the brunette's mind was Legacy up and ready to attack her again.
"Bring it on!" she screamed at them. They started to advance on her but something stopped them. And then like the cowards that they are they took off in the opposite direction with their tails tucked between their legs. Lou shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I'm scary then I thought."
"Girlie, you're not that scary." A voice chuckled. Louisa turned around to find that Triple H, John, and Shawn were standing behind her. Lou shook her head at the men and nodded her thanks.
"I can be scary when I want." Lou muttered at the three men.
"Sure, you can but you need to be more careful. Randy and his goons are unpredictable!" John said to her while crossing his arms in front of him. "He's dangerous, shorty!"
"Danger, my middle name is danger." Lou exclaimed to her friend in a rather cocky tone.
"You're killing me Smalls, killin' me!" John told her while shaking his head. "Hmmm… what do you think Smalls or shorty, Lou?"
"John, your seriously not asking me that are you?" Lou whined while John smiled knowingly at her. "I'm not even that short!"
"I like Smalls myself," Triple H chipped in. Shawn nodded in agreement. He had been oddly quiet throughout most of this situation.
"Fine, then Smalls it is!" John said throwing his fist up in the air and fist pumping.
Lou sighed and turned her attention toward Shawn. It was now or never.
"Uh, if you guys could excuse Shawn and I we need to talk." Lou told Hunter and John who both just nodded their heads before disappearing off into different directions.
"Come on we should talk about this in my locker room," Shawn said. He led the way and opened the door for Lou as she sat down on the plush leather couch. "So…"
Lou pulled out the two pictures she had found in her grandmother's house. Shawn stood there astounded at what was in front of him. A dead silence fell over the room as both Louisa and Shawn examined the pictures. Shawn let out a large sigh and ran his hand through his thick brown mane.
"So…" Shawn said again while looking directly at Louisa and continued to pace around the room.
"I'll do it." Lou said in an almost inaudible whisper.
Shawn stopped dead in his tracks. Had he heard her right, did she just say she'd do it? A single tear slid down his cheek as a smile broke out across his face. But that smile was not deserved when he looked back to find Lou sulking in her own misery. If this was the cost of finding out if she was Carson, he didn't want too. He rather have an upbeat and happy Louisa Donaldson, than a miserable unhappy Carson Michaels. Shawn walked over to her and sat down on the couch putting his hand on the young woman's shoulder.
"You don't have to do this, you know that right?" Shawn questioned. Lou shook her head at the old wrestler. She had decided she wanted to know the truth. As several tears slid down her cheek, Lou felt Shawn pull her into his side and try to quiet her. "You know, I'm just as afraid as you are."
Lou looked up at the long brown haired man in complete astonishment.
"You are?" she asked in a whisper. Shawn nodded his head.
"If you are my daughter, I'm going to feel like a horrible person for never being a part of your life. I missed birthdays, holidays, and all that other stuff. I'm afraid you'll never see me as anything more than a crazy greedy over paid wrestler and nothing more. I'm afraid that when I find out the truth about you that you will shun me for the rest of my life. I'm afraid of a lot of things, Louisa so trust me when I say that I'm scarred of what's going to happen."
Lou looked at the man who was holding her and caressing her hair. Shawn was sincere, strong, well minded, and had been through enough horrible catastrophes to last him a life time. Lou wanted to relieve him of that sadness even if it did mean losing the person she had known for twenty one years.
"Shawn," Lou sighed into the Heartbreak Kid's chest.
"Yea, Lou?" he questioned letting the brunette girl pull back.
"Even if I'm not Carson, I'd be happy to be you're on the road daughter." Lou said while smiling up at the man. Shawn beamed and nodded his head.
"I'd be honored if you did that for me, but you don't have to." Shawn said as tears fell down his face.
"You've been through enough grief Shawn, you deserve some happiness and I'd be happy to give it to you." Lou said while smiling at the old man and hugging him.
"Thank you," Shawn whispered into her ear.
"It's my pleasure," Lou said while standing up and straightening her outfit, "Now if you excuse me, I have to get to commentary King is probably wondering where I've been."
Shawn ushered her to the door and opened it. As the door opened both Hunter and John fell face forward and straight through the frame quickly the two brushed themselves off, got up, and whistled and walked away.
"Ugh please dear God, if you are my daughter tell me you're not dating that idiot!" Shawn muttered while Lou giggled and shook her head.
"I'm guessing you're referring to John, right?" Lou responded while laughing, "No, I'm not. I have better taste in men then that. I'll see you out there tonight and good luck in your match!"
Shawn smiled at the young woman as she walked away.
"Oh and Shawn one other thing," shouted Lou from down the hallway, "If you bring DiBiase over to try and attack me again, I'll tune up the band and super kick you instead."
With that Lou rounded the corner of the hallway and disappeared off down into the center of the arena leaving Shawn laughing at her. Shawn stood against the door frame for a little awhile.
"Huh, maybe she is my kid after all." Shawn said with a laugh shutting the dressing room door behind him.
